Loose Ends

She dreamt once,
simply,
of dark earth, and harvests;
white petals
and the cool, crisp breath
of snow
whose dull memories
hold her now
through barren years
as she is found
betrayer
and betrayed, exiled
and kithless.
All for a power
not harnessed.

Abandoned,
she stretched her wings,
learned to fly fettered.
Grew tall and strong
wielding weapons and unwanted power
in synchronized silence
until she burned cold and fell
prostrate within the marrow of her bones
despairing
at her separation from
kin and blood
and bone.
